Scam!!!

They claim the vehicle reports are $1 and then hit you wit $24.95 from exec search solutions claiming it’s for a monthly fee i immediately asked for a refund through their text support located on their website I was told on 3 separate occasions I would get a refund going through their required speech 3weeks later and I’ve never received a refund I emailed customer support and was told I would it be given a refund by jack kenny because I agreed to a monthly subscription which they had in fine print I see they have hundreds of complaints they are greedy and obviously need the money.

I stumbled upon this website with a simple search. They advertise a VIN history report for $1 (see screenshot) so, of course, I bought it. Probably about a week later I noticed 2 charges on my bank statement that I didn't recognize at first. One was for $1, the other was for $24.95 from a company: EZtechnologies LLC in KY. I realized that this VIN History website had charged me an extra $24.95 for something so I followed up. I was told that I would be given a full refund within 3-5 business days, which, of course, I haven't, so I have since disputed the charges to my bank. If you stumble upon them, don't waste your time or money because they will charge for a subscription that isn't mentioned anywhere and will argue with you on the phone when you try to follow up.

They provide fake VIN report and scam people with charges. The VIN report I got from them had 0 accident reported but that car had a major accedient reported in other VIN reports I collected (AutoCheck). They advirtised $1 for the service which I canceled immidiately after seeing the report. But the started charging my credite card $24.95 monthly.

Charged me $26 after stating it was only $1 for a report that had ZERO information. I used carfax and saw an abundance of information compared to this.

Charges initial $1 for a car vin report, then $24.95. Site advertises vin reports as free, but when confronted over the phone, they explained that it was a monthly service fee to have access to free vin reports. When I asked to cancel and get a refund, as the website describes as "pain and hassle free", they said they would immediately process my request. Months later, they are still charging my card under different company names.

Type of a scam Phishing

BEWARE of VinHistoryUsa.com as they promote $1 for VIN report but instantly charge you $24.95 plus the $1. It's a phish and bait site. Spent over an hour with my credit card company to stop payment plus additional recurring payments that I did not sign up for. Called VinHistoryUSA's instant help hotline number only to be disconnected when it was time to talk to a customer representative. Will take up to 90 days for this to be resolved. PLUS, the VIN report they provide had zero information about the car I was trying to get information.

This company is exactly what they are saying. A complete scam. $1 doesn’t sound like much to lose right? Well a few hours later my bank notified me of FRAUD in this card. They tried to charge an additional $24.95 using my credit card. Luckily my bank caught it and we suspended the card ASAP

I went on Vinhistoryus.com and got a vehicle report for a 2003 Toyota Camry. I paid $1 for the report and then they charged me $29 more dollars for the first month. I emailed the company a week after I got the report and let them know I wanted to cancel my subscription. Then two weeks later they charged me $27.71 12 times

The website claims to have info about your car and will show it to you for $1. After the fee is paid it brings you to a page where every field says there is no available information which is false and contradicts information before paying the fee. The worst part is they then do a second charge on your card of $24.95, luckily wells Fargo blocked the second charge attempt but now they have my card info and I don't trust it with them. Claims $1 fee then charges $1 then does an additional charge of $24.95

I was looking for a used car and searching for online services for VIN history. I found the site https://www.vinhistoryusa.com/ as the site looks like it's the relevant to USA by the name. While looking at VIN history, it doesn't ask for the money but asked to provide payment details. Later, I found some transactions posted on my Credit Card (25$, 1$, 1$, ). I have called them, canceled the subscription If it opts. They keep posting transactions even after the cancellation. In one month, they have done more than 10 transactions with 1$ (with 2-3 days of an interval). Each transaction will have a different transaction description and different merchant. But they are all same. I reported to them multiple times, they do the reversal of 1 transaction and say it's a system error and will report to the management about this issue and the remaining will be reversed in a couple of days, which can be never done. I fed up with them by calling asking for the reversal. Finally, I have canceled my credit card to stop the fraud transaction.

I have been receiving 24.95, 18.95, and 1.00 charges to my account randomly from different vendor names for the last 6 months. Vendor names show up as ZST, Vin History, Mrs Market, Shaylas Vin, Vehicle Report Systems. This is definitely fraudulent and I have reported this to my bank and had to cancel my cards. I called the support line and the rep told me she would refund all transactions.

Never signed up. Multiple charges of $19.85 and $1.00 over several months totalling $129.85. Don't know where they got my credit card. Felt certain it was a scam when options on their automated telephone systems included checking on refunds. What legitimate company gives enough refunds to have it on their main menu -- and it wasn't asking for refunds, it was "status of refund" -- like there are lots of folks expecting refunds and not seeing them. I just called the credit card company to deal with it. The charges have several different company names, some with the same phone number and some with different ones.

They continue to charge for a subscription I never signed up for and refuse to cancel despite multiple communications. Total and complete scam artists! Do NOT use this “service”. Not surprisingly, nothing appears to be happening though MULTIPLE complaints have been filed

My “free” report as advertised on google has resulted in repeated charges on my card despite assurances of cancellation. Absolutely a fraudulent site run by scammers. Steer clear!

I was also scammed. BBB advised reporting it to the New York state attorney. As consumers, we should all report it to protect others. Let's all file the complaint to get them to shut this site down!

I was selling a car on Craigslist. A person seemed interested. Asked if I could get a vehicle report. They recommended a website. So I went to digitalvehiclehistory.com. Signed up and gave my card information. Now they are taking money out of my account without permission.

We signed up with VinHistoryUSA to get a report on a used car we wanted to buy. After getting the information and noting we would be charged $1.00 for a one-time use, if we cancelled within 30 days - we would not need to pay the $18.95 monthly fee. We called and cancelled 2 days after the first and only use.

We were immediately charged $18.95 and were able to get credit for that, BUT we kept getting charges for $1.00 about every 2 weeks which they would refund after a 40+ minute OFF SHORE call. During this call I noticed they kept trying to get "just a little bit more personal information" from me. First 4 digits then 6 digits of our credit card number, then our email address. Throughout the whole process, I involved our credit card company and had them dispute the charges. The final attempt (3 months in a row), they don't show us as having an account with them, even though they keep charging us $1.00. Our credit card company is handling our case from this point forward. Capital One credit card advised us NOT TO RESPOND to the email from Vin History USA requesting more information so they could try to find our account.

I found the website looking for a vin history report. Went ahead and paid a dollar for a single report. They then went ahead and decided to continue to bill and withdraw 18.95 every week. It was a couple of months before I noticed, upon which I contacted them several times and requested they stop. They said they did, yet they continued to. I had close the account to stop them, they took over 200$ before I stopped them

Site said $1 for one report. When my phone recieved notification of my bank account being billed the $1. I got another text that same second saying i was also charged 18.95. Nothing was ever mentioned about a subscription or anything other than the$1 deal.. And the report gave no info at all. This site is a big fat scam.
